Interchangeable scarf handbag

ABSTRACT

This “Interchangeable Scarf Handbag” allows you to change the look of the handbag by threading a scarf of choice through rings on the bag thus creating a unique and individually expressive accessory. An article, specifically a handbag, in patent leather, pvc, pu, canvas or any other material, in which twelve holes are cut into the material on the top rim to create an opening. Twelve openings on the top rim, six on each side, are finished with brass rings. These rings are ½ inch in diameter. These hollow brass rings become the receptacle for items to be threaded around the top rim of the bag. The size of the hole makes it extremely easy to thread the scarf or any other material allowing for individual expression.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Handbags have been a staple in the accessory market for years.

While there have been numerous designers who have created a handbag inwhich a scarf decorates the exterior of the handbag, there are nohandbags in which the actual scarf is removable or interchangeable withanother one.

There are no known instances of the present invention directed to ahandbag with the ability to interchange the scarf to enhance theaesthetic features of the handbag.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A handbag, of any material, patent leather, pvc, pu, canvas or anyother, in which the top two inches form an area in which twelve holesare punched into the material, six on the front side of the handbag andsix on the back side.

The punched holes are then finished with twelve ½ inch hollow brassrings to create a receptacle to thread and display a scarf.

The scarf of choice is then inserted through one hole and threadedthrough the remaining 11 receptacles in an “in and out” manner and thenboth ends of the scarf are tied in a bow or knot, where they are heldsecurely in place.

ADVANTAGES AND DIFFERENCES

Fast and Easy Removal of Existing Scarf and Insertion of AlternateScarf: The 12 hollow brass rings, which are ½ inch in diameter, arelarge enough to provide sample space in which to insert or remove thescarf which has been threaded across the bag.

The method of an “in and out” system of threading the scarf through thehollow brass rings, which are tied together at the end in either a bowor knot, ensures that the scarf will remain tightly secured to thehandbag, even if the tie is open.

The unique design of the bag enables the wearer to change the color oroverall look of the bag by replacing the scarf with another one, thuscoordinating outfits.

There is no need to change the color of a handbag to match the color ofclothing—this can be achieved by simply changing the scarf, for whichthree additional colored and patterned scarves are provided.

The ability to manipulate the handbag's look by changing the insertedscarf is economically advantageous. The need to purchase additional bagsin different colors becomes less pressing as the coordination of colorsis accomplished by the simple insertion of a scarf of choice
